Their first flight follows the stars. Our streetlights get in the way.
Their first flight is the most dangerous night of their life.
Chicks leave the nest at night, guided by the stars. City lights pull them down onto roads and parking lots. A grounded bird can’t take off again on its own. If nobody stops, it won’t see the morning.
We’re recruiting night patrol volunteers for the upcoming fledgling season. No experience needed, just a phone and two hours after sunset.
Safe nesting grounds
Rescue only works if there is somewhere to go back to. Up in the ravines we protect the burrows from rats and cats, and count what returns.
Who we are
We started twelve years ago with a shoebox and one bird.
Today we’re a care center, a night patrol network and a small stubborn team that thinks no bird should end its story on a parking lot.
